America - Land of the free, Home of the brave

First let me say, I love America! I love the idea of America! I love the founding ideas of America!

But the very idea that I love is being eroded slowly more and more everyday. Political Extremism (on both sides) are turning elections into a war zone. The electorate is increasingly looking to government for a handout rather than taking personal responsibility for their own bad decisions. People are less willing to get by on there own hard work. And common sense is being slowly killed off.
